Aaaaaaand #$%^ the Bioware conversation system.
"What about Alif?"
Oooh! Maybe it will give me the chance to kill him!
"That Acolyte is going to need protection." *Lightside gained*
.... FUUUUUUUUUUCK YOU!
Do... do you have the icons turned off? I'm 99% sure any option that gives you light side/dark side should have the corresponding icon in the middle of the wheel so that exact thing doesn't happen.
Only a few quests later did I see the icons. Now I'm even more upset.

Maybe, subconsciously, Morec really wants to do good.
*hiss*
Le gasp! I didnt think it was possible.
On a different thought. What server/faction are you playing Morec?
It's not.
And my main's on Shadowlands (Lightning Sorcerer), but I'm currently leveling (Madness Sorcerer) another on Ebon Hawk while I wait for my download to finish. Will likely make a warrior afterwards on Shadowlands... Though I HAVE been debating about MAYBE a bounty hunter.

In other news: I despise Lord Abaron and everything he stands for. I want to feed him to Vel.
But that might just be my hatred of the idea of "The True Sith Race". There's no True Jedi race.

In other, OTHER news: I just killed a man in front of his own son THEN told the son that they'd thank me for this.
DARK SIDE RULES!
And it's made all the sweeter but Grey DeLisle's kickass voice acting ^.^
EDIT: Thinking of making it a policy to have at least 1 Light Side choice on all my characters, just for the hell of it... Sort of deciding nah but unsure. Missed the one opportunity for it on my BH I feel would be justified.

So. Just got back from seeing Star Wars with my DnD group. And basically, here's my breakdown.
Okay, I'll open up saying this. If I were to have one complaint about the entire movie, that could have been a make or break: Death Star 2.0
As it stands, I feel like it was an okay film. Not bad by any means, but also not a great film. To start with, in the order we meet them, I'll break down the characters, because they're what I want from movies.
First is Poe, who was actually really cool. I wanted to see this guy as the star almost from his introduction. Unfortunately, he ends up absent for most of the movie. Instead the focus is on Finn. Now, I have no problem with Finn, but I didn't enjoy him being the focus. And he could have been much stronger if Poe had stayed around longer, as they made good foils to each other. Then we have Rey, who was honestly really cool, and I really hope we get more focus on her next go-around.
And then we get Kylo Ren... or "Darth Baby Rage" as my DM has dubbed him. I'm... really conflicted on Kylo, to be honest. On one hand, I respect them for not trying to be a new Vader. He's rash, young, and goes down like a @#$%^. And I
LIKED
that. It subverted our expectations. But the reveal that he was Han's kid felt really... sloppy. And even after seeing him basically being Prequel Anakin, I couldn't help but feel like they wanted us to find him cool. And, simply put, he wasn't cool. His entire outfit, down to the stupid crossguard lightsaber (which, honestly, will never be redeemed until the guard gets utilized decently) seems to scream that he WANTS to be cool, but at the end of the day he isn't. It doesn't make him a bad character, by any means. But I don't think that was the intention, and don't expect the image to stick.
Now, the story has me more conflicted. I'm REALLY pissed that they introduce a new Republic off-screen, and kill them off so quickly. And, again, I kind of hated the Death Star 2.0. But those are my main gripes. I didn't really expect much, knowing that they have another six or so movies lined up for the next few years.
So yeah, I'd give it a 7/10 or so, overall. A fun introduction to the new saga, at least.

Yeah, Starkiller base bothered me too. How do they have the resources for that? How big is the New Order? What is - honestly it made very little sense.
But I don't think the planet they destroyed was the New Republic - from what I heard it was just another city planet, not Coruscant. But, yeah, we NEEDED more information about the Republic, New Order, why the hell it's called the "Resistance"... honestly we NEED a prequel-style exposition dump about all of this.
And I liked Ren. To me what they're going for is a character who isn't a true Sith like Vader or Maul or even Ventress was, but someone who's just coming into their role as a villain, just starting to use the Dark Side. And they're using his Vader-worship to help facilitate that, as much as he's using it to try and stay on the Dark Path.
He's basically every kid that wanted to be a Sith instead of a Jedi, and I can relate to that.
I think that as the movies progress we're gonna see him come more and more into the Dark JUST as we see Rey move more and more into being a powerful force of the Light.
Also I think Rey is Skywalker's daughter (and the mother was Force Sensitive as well) and that's why she's so strong in the Force to the point of just being able to kick semi-trained-Ren's ass.
ALSO - I heard that Ratakan Prime from Kotor was added to the new canon map. And given the look of the planet at the end of the film... But that's just a pipe dream tinfoil theory. Would be cool, though.
And in Kotor news: Mako, I love ya - but you GOT to get more Dark Side in you giiiiirl!

I admittedly was thinking either the Star Forge Planet, or Typhon. Also, I didn't really think there was any ambiguity that Rey was Luke's daughter, which is why it's funny to see these debates about it. Star Wars isn't really that subtle...
But, I will be kind of dissapointed if Rey doesn't get a double-bladed Lightsaber at some point. I kind of wish she got to use her staff more.
The Dark Side companions tend to have this weird habit of actually disliking Dark Side decisions.... Unless they're Khem Val. More companions should be Khem...

Same a golden-bladed double lightsaber...
So, basically, Bastila...
Khem Val IS may favorite so far. I just get to have the option to feed people to him and I love that. Khem Val for companion of the year!
I also have a very important question:
After meeting Grataa, why the HELL aren't Kaleesh playable yet?

I must voice my disagreement with the 'Empire equals Dark Side' notion in tOR. Mostly because the LS Warrior is a manipulating master of mind games.

I'm Jedi Knight trash so uh. I have nothing to say here.

Heresy! Heresy against the Emperor! Both of you are Heretics!

'Heresy' means choice, nothing more. I choose to serve the people of the Empire using my head as well as my rage.

So, the New Year's about to come. I've chosen not to finish this piece for it so I can keep working on it at a steady pace without a deadline, but I figured I might show off the most recent
progress
because I'm rather proud of this one.
Instead, I'm going to go turn my attention to more STAR WARS ART. Muahaha.
You should maybe do the Inquisiblings if you ever feel like it. <. < >.>
